Before you assume that the MVP quarterback moonlighted on Boy Meets World, let’s clear things up - this week we’re talking to a very different Steve Young. And believe it or not, he’s not even the only TV writer named Steve Young!
This Steve wrote season 2’s “I Am Not a Crook” and season 4’s “Uncle Daddy,” two fan favorite episodes that stood out during our podcast rewatch.
Steve was on set for his first episode and reveals what happened to Danielle when she kept flubbing a line…and she doesn’t remember it at all.
